 As we follow Hookah trends on a daily basis, we came across the auction site, eBay.com. We did a refined search on Hookahs and it appears that every type of seller is trying to sell water pipes on the site. From sellers with a rating of 0 are listing them by the dozen and sellers who sell women clothing are even beginning to sell hookahs.
The market appears to become extremely saturated and more Hookahs are being manufactured in China at a very low price. At this rate, everyone and their mothers will be selling hookahs that look alike for $5 a piece. The demand for Hookahs significantly dropped over the years as they fill the shelves of eBay stores of almost every type of seller.
The reason being is that the cost has dropped and more people are desperate to make a dollar here and there that they begin selling hookahs because of its popularity. However, it still appears that the pioneer Hookah eBayers still have the power and attract more sellers. Rookie sellers attempt to regain the veterans market share and drop the prices to gain customers. Even though, this method sounds smart, it hurts both sellers.
Ultimately, the rookie seller who is trying to make a dollar off their hookahs leave the eBay arena after a few months and the veterans regain some of their market share back. However, a new rookie begins to sell hookahs as one leaves causing the same cycle to occur.

Even though the best Hookahs are crafted and produced in the Middle East, the emerging market in China has developed their own style of Hookahs known as "Modern Hookahs." Modern Hookahs is a water pipe constructed by the finest chrome metals and glass. The Hookahs made in China are the newest type of Hookahs to hit the shelves in a long time. But what's significant about the Hookahs made in China is the cost of production and sale. Therefore, Modern Hookahs are being sold for a fraction of a cost as the ones made in the Middle East.
In the last 5 years, China has became a leader in producing Hookahs for the USA and most parts of the world that does trading with the populated country. The Hookahs are produced by the millions by machinery and low paid employees, which results in the low cost of Hookahs that are made in this region. The outsourcing of Hookahs to China has made Hookahs become a daily product shipped to the USA.
The Modern Hookahs are not made to last 100 of years but at least 5-10 years of enjoyment. They usually break or a piece of the pipe falls off and is not available for purchase because the Chinese constantly develop new designs of Hookahs. But, the Hookahs work the same as any other water pipe because of the science behind it. They are very clean in appearance and rather stylish. The Hookahs look more trendy than a classical Egyptian Hookah.
The Chinese have reduced cost of production so significantly that Middle Eastern countries begin to outsource their Hookahs instead of using their own machinery and labor. However, most Middle Easterners are not accustomed to change, so the most wholesalers have given designs of their ancient pipe for China to reproduce cheaper, quicker and more efficiently.
Henceforth, China has emerged into a powerhouse for creating water pipe products and accessories. The Internet has made it possible for vendors to communicate more effectively with manufacturer with the advent of website, such as, www.AliBaba.com. For now, it is exciting to see what's the next water pipe design that is going to come out of this country for a collectors item.
